Objective of the workpaper

For each group, list the assets remeasured under their own standard before classification and the liabilities, identify the assets within the measurement scope of the standard (any goodwill is entered separately) and enter the fair value of the group less costs to sell (datum of the file). The file computes the carrying amount of the group, the loss, its allocation (one instance per target asset) and the reversal capped at the cumulative loss on the assets other than goodwill (the goodwill loss is never reversed). Assets outside the measurement scope and liabilities are not reduced by the loss; liabilities are presented separately, without offsetting against the assets, and interest continues to be recognised. Then prepare the entries.

Judgements

Judgment

IFRS 5 §4IFRS 5 §5IFRS 5 §19IFRS 5 §23IFRS 5 §25IFRS 5 §38

  • Order of allocation of the loss of the group

    JudgmentRequired

    Pro rata allocation (no goodwill in the group)

    Pro rata allocation (no goodwill in the group) / Goodwill reduced first, then pro rata allocation / Order to review before concluding

    Rule and cross-reference: the impairment loss of a group is allocated to the non-current assets within the measurement scope of the standard, in the order set by IAS 36 (goodwill first, then pro rata); liabilities and excluded assets are not reduced (IFRS 5, para. 23). The order and the absence of a per-asset floor are conventions of the file.

  • Rationale: assets within the scope, presence of goodwill, convention on the floor, alternative rejected

    TextRequired

    AUCUN_GOODWILL_REPARTITION_AU_PRORATA

  • Fair value of the group retained

    JudgmentRequired

    Fair value supported by a valuation of the whole group

    Fair value supported by a valuation of the whole group / Fair value to review before concluding

    Rule and cross-reference: the lower-of measurement applies to the group taken as a whole (IFRS 5, para. 4). The fair value of the group less costs to sell is a datum of the file and a documented judgement.

  • Rationale: scope valued, source, date, assumptions, alternative rejected
